Review and Selection Process:

Abstracts submitted for the Lois Cohen International Travel Award will be peer-reviewed by two or three members of the scientific community with the appropriate expertise to evaluate the submissions. These reviewers will normally be members of the BEHSR scientific group. Each submission will be evaluated for:

• Meeting the author eligibility criteria outlined above
• The relevance of the subject to the fields of behavioral, social science, public health, and international research in oral health
• The innovativeness of the subject matter to the fields of behavioral, social science, public health, and international research in oral health
• The clarity of the aims
• The quality of the methodology
• An overall evaluation of the quality of the abstract

Abstracts will be scored and ranked independently by each of the reviewers. Where disagreement occurs, discussion among reviewers will resolve any differences. The reviewers will agree to a final ranking of the top abstract in each of the two award categories.
